Domestic SW broadcasting in the US is illegal!

The law has been on the books since the 1970s.

I don't see a problem with domestic SW. I proudly support WBCQ which
promotes freedom of speech.

How? Are you not free to speak today? (The Constitution only guarantees that
the government will not restrict that freedom, not that they will give you a
freee soap box.)

I think this SW restriction was designed
to limit the use of free speech and let big corporations take over the
airwaves.

The restriction came form the 30's, not the 70's. And it was intended to
preserve the intended purpose of the clear channel stations, which was to
serve rural America as well as large cities. When the rule was enacted
originally, the whole USA had around 780 radio staitons.

If they started to fine some of the show hosts on WBCQ that
to me would be an attack on the freedom of speech that the
constitution supposely protects.

Show hosts, announcers and disk jockeys are not fined by the FCC.
